THEY SAT DOWN ON 1T.
The Trades Assembly Delegates
Frown Upon a Bogus Petition
Asking High Freight Rates.

When the order of business reached
reports from trades at the last meeting
Of the Trades and Labor assembly,
President Guyett, representing the Boot
and Shoemakers' assembly, reported
business slack, which is the general
condition of the shoe industry at this
season of the year. He followed up
this report with the announcement that
100 shoemakers employed in the factory
of the Minnesota Shoe company had
formed a cooperative society, each
member agreeing to put in 81 per week
or his earnings, thus making 500 per
week towards the capital necessary for
carrying on a retail shoe store, which
will be opened in the near future. The
enterprise will not stop there, as
the members agree just so soon
as the sales store is in
practical and successful operation. to
issue shares of stock at s. per share to
whomsoever will buy, each member of
this cooperation society pledging him
self to take twenty-five shares. The
outcome of this plan will be a factory
where boots and shoes will be turned out
OF the cooperation plan.

A REAL LIVE COUNT.
One of the Royal Exiles from
France in st. Paul.

Count Froulle, of Paris, France,
passed through st. Paul yesterday en-
route, by the Northern Pacific, to Port
land, Or. The count, having few
minutes to spare before the departure
of his train, drove around st. Paul and
took in some of the principal buildings.
The count is near relative of the
count of Paris and is one of the royal
exiles. At the time of the expulsion of
the royal family he thought he was pen
niless, and had nothing beyond tract
of what he considered worthless land
in Cuba. This land, however, has lately
become valuable for tobacco culture,
and was sold for so considerable a sum
that the count now remarks: 81 can zail
with re rest of them.'' He will spend
the winter in California and next sum
mer go to Honolulu.

children of God! When adversities
strike us and we pass by the
PALACES OF THE GREAT
a feeling of envy is apt to come over us.
Let us raise our eyes to the canopy OF
heaven and remember that we are
brothers of Jesus Christ, we are one
with him. Here in His presence and in
His name, we can address all our sup
plicatiOnS to our Father.
But there is another title above all
others and that is that Christians are
the temples of the Holy Ghost. This
should ill us with zeal when we con-
slider that our bodies are made the abid-
ing place of the Holy Spirit. Therefore
we should see to it that our bodies are
made fitting places for such a glorious
destiny.
He does not live a Christian life who
practices only the natural virtues. To
be simply honest and temperate is not
the Christian life. The standard
of the Christian life is holiness
holiness in thought, holiness in
word. and holiness in action. We are
f ia the kingdom oe Of GOD We are p'e called
for supernatural end, and God de-
mands from us that we must be prop
erly fortified by faith. There are some
who, when they examine the lives of
Christians, say it is impossible to lead
such life. But such people have no
idea of the grace of God. The apostles
and all the saints of God were like other
men. They were made of clay and pos
sessed of the same passions as other
men. But what difference in grace!
Take the life of st. Augustine, who,
after life of crime, by the grace of
God, came to life of purity and holt
ness; and that of st. AlOysius, who
never committed mortal sin.
In these cases just cited we
have the realization of the
true Christian life. st. Peter in one Of
his epiStleS refers to Christians as a
''chosen generation" because they are
the elect of Gods choice; in another,
as
"ROYAL PRIESTHOOD"
because out of their number are selected
Gods representatives on earth; IN an
other as ''holy natiOn," because the
Christian nation is under the supreme
guidance OF the Holy Spirit; in another,
as purchased people," because the
Christian life was redeemed by the
shedding of the blood of our divine
Lord.
Il beseecb YOU" he says, ''to refrain
from carnal Desires Let us then lead
sanity, Christian lives, and in this may
we glorify God and incur His choicest
blessings.

Objections to the Style OF Enter

Questions growing out of the recep-

late trip to st. Paul continues to be the
leading topic among the people of that
nationality. Nelson Blourster, lead

of the party along with the officers
on their trip, was doing some
kicking at the hotels yesterday.
''In Minneapolis" said he to GLOBE
reporter, they were received by thou
sands OF their countrymen, and were
treated handsomely; but in st. Paul
they were taken to the Ryan hotel and
kept standing around in the lobby FIVE
OF six hours, and were called on by a
few OF their own nationality, instead of
being received by thousands as at Min
neapolis. Imaginary programmes and

ing machine is yet only 8 theory, but 1t
will soon be put to practical test.
Many of the details, although fully
worked out, can not be made public, as
the inventors have not completed their
patents. Mr.. Croker, however, did not
hesitate to give general description OF
the new machine this morning. He de-

so far been proposed. The motive power
and steering apparatus consist Of s fan
from five to ten feet in diameter, with 6
wide blade Of thin steel. The fan is to
work horizontally, deriving its power
from an electric motor suspended Just
below The center or hub Of the lowest
side, while below the motor and fan the
car or basket will be suspended. The
motor is to weigh not more than two
hundred pounds, and will have the force
of q ten-horse power engine. Tie fan
will ordinarily make fifteen hundred Ieyo-
lutious per minute, but can be increased
to 5000 or even 5000 revolutions IN case
Of an emergency. The steel blade acting
against the air at such speed will be suf-
Gcient TO carry the machine upward, and
to steer it with or against current OF
air By de1ections Of the fln.
The new flying machine is not, now
ever, free agent TO fit like bird where
it listeth, but must remain captive, con-
nected by wire with dynamo, which
will furnish power to the motor. Up to
the present time no storage system OF
primary battery has been discovered OF
sufficient power or Iightness that it could
be carried by the machine Itself. Mr..
Croker is deeply interested il his inven-
ton, but ne admits that it will be Of no
practical utility except for war purposes
or weather observation. He hopes to
have the mgchine perfected in time for
exhibition at the Paris exposition.
